[M4A1] - STANAG 60 round magazine should have to be reloaded after 30 rounds

[zippit 62]

Title.

 

Does anyone agree? Since it is basically 2 magazines strapped together, only to save space?

 

If so, vote up!: http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=15193

Yeah, I think it's a very good idea.

[King Raptor 191]

Voted up.

It should ofc only allow for very fast reload, not for 60 rounds straight.

I would also love if we could duct tape 2 magazines together for assault rifles.

Voted up, couldn't agree more. I wish I could duct tape (movie style) 2 AKM or AK101 mags, and have to do the same.

Using taped magazines should come at the price of more sway btw...

If it causes sway in the real world, then yeah sure.

It stands to reason that the firearm will be heavier to hold. What would a fully loaded clip weigh, about half a kilo?

I'm not sure at all. In my (extremely amateur) opinion the weight difference would be negligible compared to the weight of the weapon and other attachments, but I wouldn't feel upset if it increased they increased the sway a bit in cases like this.

 

I'd be much more interested in getting the reload animation halfway through firing the 60 rounds, perhaps shaving 1 second off the reload time, as your not reaching into a belt or bag to retrieve another magazine.

Bro, this is what we really need:...

There has to be some penalty to having super-fast reloading otherwise there would be no point in not tying magazines together.

He's actually got it taped on the wrong way XD

 

To the OP:

 

It's supposed to be that way with the coupled-mags. The devs have bigger fish to fry at the moment, so them coding a function to reload the 60rnd mag after 30 rounds and doing so at a much quicker speed than normal is on their low-priority list. Not to mention the animations they would need for it as well.

I agree but it should be a shorter reload time than normal because it's already on the weapon.

They should just remove the "60 round magazine" from the game until such time as it's ready to be properly introduced. I know someone's gonna say "but this is alpha, we need to test it" - no we don't, it's a bit of code that says "60" instead of "30", what's to test? Wait until later when there's a system set up for it IMO.

This is glorious.

 

Would give a nice use to the duct tape!

Hell yeah bro

Replace the model with a 60 round surefire magazine. No issues on the self reloading jungle mag then.

 

 

 

 

[Katana67 2907]

Agreed. But rather, I just think the magazine coupler should be the attachment. It shouldn't be a "60 round" magazine attachment.

 

It shouldn't just be, "Welp, I've found two magazines already linked together!"

 

You should have to find two magazines, and then find the coupler separately, then link the two magazines you've already found with the coupler to increase your reload speed between the two magazines.

 

But yes, in either manifestation, it should require a reload in-between. The 40 rounder should be the best bet if you want a continuous stream of fire. I also believe there's a 100 round Beta mag in the game files. I could be way off.

I really dont want a BetaC-Mag ingame, hopefully it takes up 3x2 or 4x2
